This week for Mindful Monday, the H.O.P.E. Club encourages students to think about "the power of saying ‘No.’" Saying "no" is described as "a form of self-care that allows us to prioritize our own needs and well-being." The club emphasizes that society often views "no" as impolite but argues it can be empowering and improve mental health.
